The 22-year-old running back was also the Steelers' second-leading receiver in 2014, with 83 catches for 854 yards and three receiving TDs. We'll await further word on Bell's status to start the coming season, but if he is indeed suspended, his value in re-draft formats will obviously take a bit of a hit, while the Steelers will need to come up with alternate backfield arrangements out of the gate.","date":"Thu Feb 12"},"fullName":"Le'Veon Bell","lastPoints":10,"pointsSEASON":272,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Someone needs to remind Bell that he's 244 pounds. His running style just isn't as punishing as it should be. Every time he hurdles a potential tackler, he sends a message that he's not thrilled with physical play. The numbers prove it too: Bell's 1.58 yards after contact per rush in 2013 was 26th among RBs. That's not high enough for a guy who generates his kind of power. The upside of Bell's smaller-back skills is that he's a terrific pass catcher; his 8.9 yards per catch last season ranked ninth among running backs who snagged at least 40 passes. He'll again be an attractive option in PPR leagues.","seasonId":2014,"date":"Mon Jun 23"},"positionRank":2,"totalPoints":272}
